COMMENTARY: Today, 76% of nursing homes residents in West Virginia are covered by Medicaid: That’s over 49,000 residents in just one state. Medicare beneficiaries rely on Medicaid for assistance with services not covered by Medicare, particularly long term care, writes Ellen Allen.
Is West Virginia — and the rest of the country — prepared to care for our seniors?

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022.

That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations.

So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

HASSAN: Would the administration reverse course if the president's tariffs led to 10% inflation?

GREER: The president is fixed in his purpose

HASSAN: Let's be clear that Trump administration is here today to say that even if inflation hits 10 percent they're still gonna go charging ahead

Re the 185 jobs lost in Morgantown because of this administration. A friend posted on FB:

My brother, a scientist and safety engineer at NIOSH there, is one of those affected. He’s a vet and has been responsible for making conditions safer for firefighters all over the country.

A text to me yesterday re the wipeout of NIOSH in Morgantown, WV:

"Almost all of NIOSH Morgantown is gone now. There are just a few still in waiting. No work can be done -- no one left and the entire NIOSH OD gone. Our directors, it's awful.
"Here 25 years and all gone/erased in one day."
